“Those were not meteorites, it was Americans testing their new weapons,” Mr. Zhirinovsky confessed to journalists.

According to the story, Zhirinovsky also stated that new U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry had attempted to tell Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov about the “test” in advance. Lavrov has reportedly been dodging Kerry’s phone calls for a few days now. Zhirinovsky reportedly said “he was looking for Lavrov, and Lavrov was on a trip,” of Kerry’s motivation. “He meant to warn Lavrov about a provocation against Russia.”Sources:washingtonpost.com and english.ruvr.ruRelated:
